My own take is that information is empowering, that I happily make food choices, a balance of flavor and enjoyment and the calorie/etc consequences. But I'm happy-happy-happy to concede that melted cheese and bread with onion soup are indeed a huge temptation.<BR/><BR/>FJK ~ I love that must-try file concept. Some times we actually do what we 'must'! <BR/><BR/>Jennifer ~ Love the idea of the mixed onions and shallot, leek too perhaps? I love how soup 'bridges' the seasons. <BR/><BR/>Elaine ~ Great idea, the vermouth. I'd be tempted with sherry, too.

Also added minced garlic once the onions had sweated and it was the best onion soup I have ever eaten. Many years ago I lived in Los Angeles and went to a restaurant whose specialty was French Onion soup. This far surpassed theirs so I highly recommend trying both additions.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423154992723717068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-37082688875081601202007-03-01T10:21:00.000-06:002007-03-01T10:21:00.000-06:00That is a fabulous photo.

I like my onion soup with a mixture of sweet, red, and yellow onions (and sometimes a shallot or 2 if I have them). Winter is passing here, but I know I will return to your round-up as soon as a chill hits the air again.

You will be punished by the Gods. The soup is merely a nice garnish for the ooey, gooey, broiled cheese. Your soup could be an ad on TV for the cheese federation (or whoever it is who makes those wonderful "I left him cheeeeeese" commercials). Just kidding. I know the calories and fat are all in the cheese but who can resist it? Okay, who besides me has no willpower when it comes to cheese? :-)Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528360147805366086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-77323359496867669722007-02-28T07:48:00.000-06:002007-02-28T07:48:00.000-06:00French onion soup is DH's favorite soup and I've a...French onion soup is DH's favorite soup and I've always been too afraid to attempt it.

Will try it for sure. FWIW, in college I worked at a French restaurant where this was a popular dish. They served it with mozarella cheese (not fresh mozarella.) In those days I had no thoughts at all about the fat content, but now I might try that as a lower fat alternative. As I remember, it tasted great.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the great soup recipes.Kalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-59684007866237669102007-02-27T07:43:00.000-06:002007-02-27T07:43:00.000-06:00French Onion Soup (I have no sources to back this ...French Onion Soup (I have no sources to back this up, but I call anything made of caramelized onions that) has to be my all-time favorite.
